Who Do You Consider A Twenty-First Century Paul Revere? Are You One?
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 10:27 AM by DistressedAmerican
This newbie graphic was inspired by Swamprat who mentioned on a thread that Bushco had turned him into a modern day Paul Revere. In reflection, I realized that I feel much the same way.

We ride through the digital and literal streets shouting a loud warning of invasion and dire threat. Many are asleep during this midnight in America. It is up to us to shout out and wake them the hell up from their slumber.

What about you? Are you a twenty-first century Paul Revere? Tell me some stories of your exploits. What have you been up to?

Are there others in the country that you think fit the description? Who are they? What are they up to?

I want to hear some stories from the front lines this morning!

SHOUT OUT A WARNING PEOPLE! THE NEOCONS ARE COMING!



Well, I guess they are already here. But, Still SHOUT!!!

4. Cool Graphic!
I'm trying to alert people by creating DVDs about subjects that don't get enough Media Attention..

Spent the last 4 years making dozens of Flash political attack ads, done a lot of stuff - it would take me all day to list it (not bragging, just been a busy boy since Bush started squatting in OUR White House)..

Go to Takebackthemedia.com http://www.takebackthemedia.com and have a look at the latest, going to be releasing my film/DVD called "ROVE'S WAR" within the next ten days or so they'll be showing up in mailboxes all over the US :)

EVERYONE at the DU is a sort of Paul Revere don't ya think?

Keep it coming, I like it!

7. Freaking Great. I'll Check Your Stuff Out! Katinmn Was Just Telling Me
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 10:23 AM by DistressedAmerican
about your work. Sounds really fantastic!

I can't wait for a copy of Rove's War. I hear that you have been working your ass off!

I do think that the vast majority of fit the description. there are a few that are victims of learned helplessness though.

You know the ones. The post stuff like, "These guys are never going down!", "This story is just another that will be covered up by the MSM.", etc. Those people need our help. We need theirs!

Keep at it and let me know when the release is set. I can give you some publicity on my site! I'd be happy to!

10. Well, to answer your question...
Off the top of my head...

Theres a website I started intending to publish an article a month, but, sadly it's been overtaken by events.

I've collected snippets here and there into a file relating to and debunking the Christian Foundations of the U.S.

I've done the same thing with the Wilson investigation, primarily related to or focusing on Miller's connections.

I'm thinking about seeing a shrink to help me deal with issues that are ever growing and disturbing thoughts I am having with more frequency.

A couple of protest attendances, and talking to people when I can.

Other than that, not much.

-Hoot

22. Besides ranting and raving around here
one of the things I love to do is stick my little 'holy cards' on peoples cars. Of course I only do this to cars adorned with the appropriate stickers.

33. Sibel Edmunds was (is) one...I'm just a guy who plays in PhotoShop.
Since I doubt that any of my work is ever gonna
change a single mind, I'm not even close to that "class" of patriot.

34. Your Work Has Effected Mine. Look At My Main Page. Starting To Look
a lot like some of your.

Never doubt that you are Paul Revere! You are fighting the good fight.

I don't delude myself i nto thinking that what I am doing really amounts to a hill of beans. But, we are trying. We are shouting and they are getting scared.

The Novak meltdown just being the most recent symptom.

You and many who have not spoken up yet on this thread are doing what you can. You are a revere in my book!

35. I was having a discussion on that very subject the other day with my mom.
She told me that I should quit worrying about the Bush Crime Family and havoc they brought forth to the world because there was nothing I could do to change anything. I said fine, I'll be like Paul Revere and warn everyone anyway. Then she basically said that Paul Revere was irrelevant because everyone knew the British were coming anyway. :eyes:

You can't win.

36. Freaking Hysterical. Good For You There Will Always Be Naysayers
and folks that think we are nuts for fighting the good fight. I happen to think folks like that are trators to this country.

The only thing worse than not fighting yourself is encouraging others not to do so!

the point of this isn't whether we win or lose, but that we do the right thing.

I bought your Friendly Fascism T-shirt. I love it and get so many comments on it.

39. Well, I straddle two states
one blessedly blue (I'm going to be up here until early September) and one that is so Red, it let the village idiot escape. I'm sure I'll have a lot less positive comments when I wear it in the Lone Star State but I will wear it proudly.

One thing I especially like about it is a lot of people never even see the quote on the back and they still love it. When I point out the quote on the back, they love it even more!
